1971 Chevelle SS 454, one ownwer, #'s matching **Barn Find**

Description for Chevrolet Chevelle 1971

Up for sale is an original. one owner 1971 Chevelle SS 454 automatic car. This car is a prime candidate of a total restoration. The body and frame are solid. has a weak spot in the passenger side rear floor pan. but no big holes. the interior is completely. all there right down to the SS emblems on the steering wheel and door panels. however will need a complete reupholstering. carpet and headliner. To give some history on the car. The car belong to a retired police officer who I've known for quite some years and have tried to purchase the car in the past but he would not sell. The gentleman has recently had some serious health issues and decided to let the car go. The 454 was redone about 10 years ago and barely has 100 miles on it since. the car has sat for at least that long. Since I've purchased the car. I've replaced the starter and changed the distributor to HEI with plugs. nbsp;wires. cap and rotor. The motor is free spinning and the compression in each cylinder was great. I am in the process of setting the timing to actually fire up the car. I also have the original "A" title for the car. As you will see from the pics. the car is in pretty good shape but will require some tlc. but once completed it will be well worth it. So if you are interested in a piece of American muscle car history for a fairly reasonable amount of cash. Please keep in mind that these cars finished are bringing well north of $30k. As always. serious bidders only please. Thanks and happy bidding. God Bless. After setting the timing with the new HEI distributor. cap. rotor. wires and plugs the car fired right up and sounds AWESOME!!!!!!! Of course I ran it on premium gas out of a 5 gallon gas container and changed the oil and filter. I still have to clean the gas from the tank because it's over 10 years old. I also purchased and am replacing the manual fuel pump because it was leaking. So the car does run and sounds great. **********I am re-listing this car due to a unprepared buyer clicking the Buy-it-Now and not being prepared to purchase the car**********
